Las últimas décadas han evidenciado no solamente un creciente interés acerca de todo lo concerniente a la vejez y a los viejos, sino acerca de las diversas perspectivas desde las cuales se ha abordado el envejecimiento, tan diversas como las múltiples facetas que componen este proceso. De ahí que este libro, Envejecer en el siglo xxi, se haya pensado para estimular el “aprender a aprender” sobre estos temas, más allá de las aulas universitarias; para ofrecer soluciones a las problemáticas sociales, y para que los profesionales de la salud se comuniquen de manera efectiva en los diferentes escenarios del desempeño profesional. También se concibió para consolidar la adquisición de saberes a través de un hilo conductor de contextos sociales y humanísticos desde los cuales se enlazan los problemas clínicos. Además, mediante una integración horizontal, plantea al lector una forma dinámica en la manera de concebir la vejez y de contemplar, al mismo tiempo, el nacimiento de ciencias como la biología, la estadística o la antropología, para determinar al final una mirada integral al surgimiento de la gerontología con sus componentes multidisciplinarios.
Colombia's status as the fourth largest nation in Latin America and third most populous—as well as its largest exporter of such disparate commodities as emeralds, books, processed cocaine, and cut flowers—makes this, the first history of Colombia written in English, a much-needed book. It tells the remarkable story of a country that has consistently defied modern Latin American stereotypes—a country where military dictators are virtually unknown, where the political left is congenitally weak, and where urbanization and industrialization have spawned no lasting populist movement. There is more to Colombia than the drug trafficking and violence that have recently gripped the world's atte...
Environmental remote sensing plays a critical role in observing key hydrological components such as precipitation, soil moisture, evapotranspiration and total water storage on a global scale. As water security is one of the most critical issues in the world, satellite remote sensing techniques are of particular importance for emerging regions which have inadequate in-situ gauge observations. This book reviews multiple remote sensing observations, the application of remote sensing in hydrological modeling, data assimilation and hydrological capacity building in emerging regions.
Stupidity. What is it? Is is just something we see our neighbors and parents/kids do (and members of the opposite political party)? Or is it something more? Why does it seem to be so universal? Are there fundamentals of stupidity that can be recognized? These are the questions discussed in this volume. It presents six fundamentals of stupidity that lead to the stupid choices we see all around us. Included among these are the belief that there are no moral values, that God does not exist, and that it is acceptable to become addicted and to treat others badly and be proud. In the end, we see that the only sure way to avoid the fundamentals of stupidity is through the saving power of Jesus Christ.

India and Israel have successfully steered the relationship forward, despite the baggage of fraught and convulsive neighbourhoods. The contributors to this volume include policy makers and military leaders who played an important role in the growth of the relationship, as well as academics who...
